RVI Retail Value Inc

Retail Value Inc. (NYSE: RVI) today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Results for the Quarter

• Third quarter net income attributable to common shareholders was $72.3 million, or $3.79 per diluted share as compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.32 per share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year increase in net income is primarily attributable to the hurricane insurance settlement.
• Third quarter operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $23.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $25.2 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year decrease in OFFO is primarily attributable to the impact of asset sales.
• Sold two shopping centers for an aggregate sales price of $54.6 million.
• Settled insurance claim from damage incurred on the 12 Puerto Rico assets from Hurricane Maria; received an incremental $70.5 million related to the property insurance claims and $7.0 million related to the business interruption claim of which $5.7 million was recorded as income. Including these final payments, SITE Centers and RVI received total insurance payments amounting to $185.8 million. Management expects to use proceeds from the settlement to complete all necessary remaining hurricane-related repairs.
• Payment of $17.0 million of the $34 million payable to SITE Centers Corp.
• The Continental U.S. leased rate was 91.4% as compared to 92.2% at June 30, 2019 due to lease expirations and tenant bankruptcies.
• The Puerto Rico leased rate was 83.8% as compared to 84.6% at June 30, 2019 due to lease terminations and tenant bankruptcies.

Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the real estate industry and is a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) performance. Management believes that both FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group.

In December 2018, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) issued NAREIT Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement (“the 2018 FFO White Paper”). The purpose of the 2018 FFO White Paper was not to change the fundamental definition of FFO but to clarify existing guidance and to consolidate into a single document, alerts and policy bulletins issued by NAREIT since the last FFO white paper was issued in 2002. The 2018 FFO White Paper was effective starting with first quarter 2019 reporting. The Company did not report any changes in the calculation of FFO in 2019 related to the clarification in the 2018 FFO White Paper.

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) adjusted to exclude (i) gains and losses from disposition of real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, if any, (ii) impairment charges on real estate property and related investments and (iii) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles. The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by NAREIT. The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding certain non-operating charges and income. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes non-comparable charges and income to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

The Company also uses net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, as a supplemental performance measure. NOI is calculated as property revenues less property-related expenses. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level and, when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, Operating FFO and NOI do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as alternatives to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as indicators of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this release and the accompanying financial supplement.
